Can you recommend a great movie for our "Movie Night"?

[bif]

We get together every Tuesday night with another couple for "Movie Night". We've seen some great ones, along with a couple of stinkers. What should we rent tomorrow?

[stuntcat]

1. did you watch Cold Comfort Farm before?

..I watched 'Rear Window' for the first time this weekend and it was GREAT.

[bif]

5. That was one wild movie!

[MonkeyFunk]

I thought of it yesterday for some reason, and it was still on my mind. I'll have to watch it again this week.

[Dr. Strange]

3. Kung Fu Hustle made me laugh...if you're looking to laugh.

[sakabatou]

14. Or anything by Stephen Chow

Like Shaolin Soccer.

[NewJeffCT]

[BlueIris]

[malta blue]

6. have you seen THE RED VIOLIN?

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120802/

[bif]

8. Yes. Excellent movie!

[edbermac]

9. What genre?

:shrug:

[bif]

10. Either comedy or high quality indie type films.

Maybe along the lines of "Little Miss Sunshine" and "The Station Agent"

[edbermac]

17. Best comedy ever was Some Like It Hot.

Not that many indie films that I know are at Blockbuster. Coming up on TCM cable is a documentary about the 1940's horror film maker Val Lewton - Cat People, I Walked With A Zombie, etc. Maybe they are available.

33. Galaxy Quest is a lot of fun

especially if there's a Trek or scifi movie fan in the audience.

[Ellen Forradalom]

11. "The Illusionist"

That was terrific.

[driver8]

24. I loved it -- great movie.

I work at Warner Bros. and I was doing some audio work on one of the masters for this film. A couple of the producers were sitting in with me and we were doing the movie in 2 parts. We did part 1 on a Thursday but didn't get to part 2 until the following Monday. I told the producers, "Man, I couldn't wait for Monday -- I want to see the rest of this movie!!"

I got to meet the director, also. He was a very nice guy and I told him how much I liked his movie. It is a good one!!

12. The Station Agent

[underpants]

13. If you feel like crying-watch "We are Marshall"

trust me, buckets full

[Stuart G]

15. The Iron Giant........

The finest animated film ever made........

[driver8]

21. I work for Warner Bros. and this movie is a sore spot with a lot of us.

This movie is absolutely fantastic, yet did poorly at the box office.

I don't think WB knew how to market this film -- it is a sleeper, for sure.

I'm glad to see that someone else feels the way I do about this movie.

[Tikki]

16. Central do Brasil (Central Station) 1998 ....

An amazing Brazilian movie.


Tikki

[HERVEPA]

18. McCabe and Mrs. Miller. Altman film with Beatty, Christie

Fantastic movie, with Leonard Cohen music

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

19. Eastern Promises is well done and beautifully acted. eom

[NewJeffCT]

20. Are you looking for any specific genre? Newer movies, older ones?

When you say "we" - is it a bunch of guys or women? or is it like a "date" type of situation?

[bif]

23. Newer movies

Although we might start renting some older classics. It's two married couples and we watch the movies at home.

[NewJeffCT]

25. Some choices

For some classics that not everybody has seen, I would say:

12 Angry Men
On the Waterfront

For more recent good movies that not everybody has seen:

The Insider
Mystic River
The Bourne movies with Matt Damon

[driver8]

22. The Commitments!!!!

One of my favorite movies, ever!

I guarantee that you will like this movie!!

[BurtWorm]

27. Pan's Labyrinth

Just saw it last weekend. It has some disturbing violence, but it's very powerful.


What movies have you all seen on your Movie Nights?

[bif]

30. We've seen a ton of movies

Monsters Ball, If Only, Just like Heaven, Sunshine, the Good German, The Pianist...

[racaulk]

28. You say you're looking for high quality indie type films?

Check out "Clockwatchers" and "Happy Endings."

Lisa Kudrow is in both, but that's purely coincidental. They're both excellent movies. :)

[Phillycat]

29. We just watched "Knocked Up" the other night and it was GREAT.

Really cute and sweet. There is some sex included, just in case it's not that kind of crowd.

[Heidi]

31. "Waiting for Guffman"

with apporpriate herbs. Or "Sideways" with a nice California red. :D

[youthere]

32. I'd avoid anything with "Naughty Housewives" in the title.

or anything that includes someone "doing" any major metropolitan area.

[applegrove]

34. My Brilliant Career. I love that movie.
